Guided rescue technique for the replacement of failing implants while preserving the existing prosthetic construction – Part 1: proposed protocol with the ins and outs of the clinical challenge

Abstract

If the success rates in implantology display scores envied by many other medical and dental disciplines, the fact remains that the negative feeling is around 100% for the practitioner and for the patient in case of 'failure, especially when this failure occurs after prosthetic placement. The management of these situations rarely addresses the possible recovery of the prosthesis.
